Brian Pillman Jr. teases huge opportunity coming up

[Chris]

Brian Pillman Jr. says he has a "huge opportunity" coming up.

The 29-year-old's AEW contract expired earlier this month, making him a free agent. Our own Dave Meltzer has since reported that Pillman was spotted training at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando on July 13. Although it's not clear if he has signed with the company, Pillman teased that he's excited for the future during a recent virtual signing with Captain's Corner.

Pillman said:

It's a tough business. It's a long way to the top if you want to rock n roll but being here today and getting to reminisce on some of my past moments of my career has really cheered me up and put me in a position to where I'm excited for the future.
There is a lot to come. I can't speak on it right now. It's kind of in the works right now but I've got a huge moment, a huge opportunity coming up in my career to continue making memories, to continue coming up with new gear ideas, and sharing my version of pro wrestling with you all. Thank you for supporting me and today was a lot of fun.

Pillman made his pro-debut in late 2017 and joined MLW less than a year later as part of the Hart Foundation along with Teddy Hart and Davey Boy Smith Jr. Pillman made his AEW debut at Double or Nothing 2019 in the Casino Battle Royal. He returned to the promotion in the summer of 2020 during the pandemic era, teaming with Griff Garrison as the Varsity Blondes. He's a former OVW Heavyweight Champion, Warrior Wrestling Champion, and once held the MLW Tag titles along with Hart and Smith.

Saw this earlier but was waiting for some other confirmation bc I think this is the same source that said WWE was 100% sold to the Saudi's in January

Fair enough…

Think it’s inevitable but who knows

 

[Chris]

I think they're normally okay that was just obviously a big flub lmao good for him if true though and it def lines up with his own comments that he couldn't elaborate on so I'm expecting it as well

No way they would change his name, right?

You'd hope not but they did change Rex Steiner to Bron Breakker when they had already trademarked the Steiner name....and aren't even shy about his heritage lol

Who’s Von Wagner’s daddy?

Who’s Von Wagner’s daddy?

Wayne Bloom, he opened up about being "the son of a Beverly Brother" a couple months ago on TV

PC should make that boy learn that "Brian Pillman was my dad".....isn't going to cut it.

Brian Gimmickman looms......goes with the whole pillman motif.....could be the locker room gimmick man who provides the pills.

Oh wow. Learn something new everyday

Honestly, they could have Pillman Jr be what Jack Perry is right now.

An obnoxious jerk you want to punch in the face.

If 205 was still a thing, I think he’d have a bright future, but him in NXT could work.

Very much to me what I was thinking. Like HBK when he was with Sherri in the Early 90s before he broke away on his own and Nash showed up.
